Wild Caught Salmon with a Pesto Coconut Milk Sauce

I really just threw this together in about 20 minutes and it was SO GOOD. Minimal ingredients, minimal chopping (!) it's a great, quick weeknight meal. Checkkkk checkkkk it out below!

Serving size: 2 fillets of salmon

What you need:
  • Wild caught salmon, 2 fillets
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (can sub olive or avocado, I used Nutiva's that's magically always liquid)
  • salt and pepper
  • half an onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk (I used unsweetened)
  • 1/3 cup stock (I used chicken)
  • 2 cups packed spinach
  • 2 tablespoons pesto (I used my homemade spinach/pine nut/nutritional yeast pesto)
  • pinch of dried basil 


What you need to do:
  1. Dump in your coconut oil
  2. Pat your fillets dry
  3. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and dried basil
  4. Once oil is hot, place your fillets in and cook 4 ish minutes each side
  5. Remove fillets then add your chopped up garlic and onions
  6. Cook about 2 minutes, don't burn the garlic! Keep stirring it
  7. Add in your broth and pesto and cook another 2 minutes
  8. Dump in your coconut milk and spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes
  9. Place your fillets back in the pan and simmer for about 3-4 minutes
  10. Woah, you're done. Eat it up! 
  11. Would be great with a side of grains
